Summary - 74, CHURCH LANE, SHEFFIELD, DORE S17 3GT
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large four-bedroom family home with character, south-facing walled garden and double garage.
Period stone-built detached cottage on a prominent corner plot
Pippin Cottage is a substantial four-bedroom detached home on a desirable corner plot in Dore, offered for sale for the first time in over 30 years. The house combines generous, well-proportioned living space with strong period character — exposed beams, two large inglenook fireplaces and traditional joinery — making it particularly well suited to family life and entertaining.
The ground floor centres on a large dining hall, two spacious reception rooms and a substantial traditional dining kitchen with integrated appliances. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is exceptionally large and includes a dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and en-suite; three further double bedrooms (one en-suite) and the family shower room complete the first floor. There is extensive built-in storage throughout.
Outside the gardens wrap around two sides of the house and include a south-facing walled lawn and stone-flagged seating terraces, established planting and mature trees. Practical family features include a cobblestone driveway with space for multiple vehicles, an integral double garage, mains gas boiler with underfloor heating and fast broadband access. The location is genuinely convenient: walking distance to Dore village amenities, Dore & Totley station and a number of highly regarded schools.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important to consider: the property is in Council Tax Band G (described as quite expensive) and there are some covenants on the title. Parts of the house reflect its age and traditional style — while well maintained, some owners may wish to update certain fittings or reinstate working open fires. Viewings will best suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home in a very affluent suburb rather than a turnkey modern apartment.
